Work Overview
From a collection of instrumentals by Essendon Airport titled Sonic Investigations of the Trivial.
Sonic Investigations of the Trivial was described at the time by Essendon Airport as 'Songs which combine many of the most facile and insipid kinds of music in a redeemingly dignified manner...creating new trivia out of old. All this takes place along with a kind of pedantic fetishism for small-repetition games - the music travels in circles, spirals and solid blocks of sameness and difference.'
